Have a Breathable Bedroom:
Many factors can keep us up at night: a loved one snoring, noisy streets and a scared or crying child. A stuffy nose should NOT be one of the reasons a good night’s sleep eludes us, but for 20 percent of the U.S. population it is. They suffer from chronic nighttime nasal congestion, a constant struggle that disrupts sleep and impacts them the next day. They think it’s an issue they just have to live with, but the truth is it could be their bedroom that’s causing the congestion and this is a problem that can be fixed! Trish Suhr, Emmy-winning cleaning expert from Style Network’s Clean House and Dr. Michael Breus, The Sleep Doctor, will shared their advice on how you can transform your “unbreathable” bedrooms by addressing the elements in the bedroom that might be contributing to your nasal congestion and lack of sleep, as well as tips on how to improve the quality and quantity of air they breathe at night.

Dove Dark Chocolate:
Looking for a delicious, silky, yet smooth dark chocolate? Then DOVE dark chocolate is the solution, as they produce quality chocolate from “bean to bar” with specially selected cocoa beans.

Dove’s “cocoa pro” process gently processes the cocoa to promote health benefits – like improved circulation for your heart and that good complexion! Look for “little green frog seal” on packages of DOVE dark chocolate, which means dove sources 100% of its cocoa for dark chocolate from Rainforest Alliance Certified Farms.
